Haskell bindings to the International Components for Unicode (ICU)
libraries. These libraries provide robust and full-featured Unicode
services on a wide variety of platforms.
Features include:
* Both pure and impure bindings, to allow for fine control over efficiency
and ease of use.
* Breaking of strings on character, word, sentence, and line boundaries.
* Access to the Unicode Character Database (UCD) of character metadata.
* String collation functions, for locales where the conventions for
lexicographic ordering differ from the simple numeric ordering of
character codes.
* Character set conversion functions, allowing conversion between Unicode
and over 220 character encodings.
* Unicode normalization. (When implementations keep strings in a normalized
form, they can be assured that equivalent strings have a unique binary
representation.)
* Regular expression search and replace.

===> The following configuration options are available for hs-text-icu-0.7.0.1_8:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
DYNAMIC=on: Add support for dynamic linking
HSCOLOUR=off: Colorize generated documentation by HsColour
PROFILE=off: Add support for profiling
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings

Reason:
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler has been updated to version
8.0.2. Hence it is recommended to rebuild or reinstall all the
dependent ports and the lang/ghc port itself in one of the following
ways:
# portmaster -w -r ghc
or
# portupgrade -fr lang/ghc
In case of pkg(8), it is probably safer to remove all the GHC-dependent
packages along with GHC and reinstall everything from scratch. For
example:
# pkg query "%ro" ghc > ghc-pkgs.txt
# pkg delete -y lang/ghc
In ghc-pkgs.txt, check and remove all the packages that have been moved
on the update, then use this command:
# pkg install -y `cat ghc-pkgs.txt`

Reason:
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler has been updated to version
7.10.2 and Haskell Platform has been removed. As a result, it is
recommended to rebuild or reinstall all the dependent ports and the
lang/ghc port itself in one of the following ways:
# portmaster -w -r ghc
or
# portupgrade -fr lang/ghc
In case of pkg(8), it is probably safer to remove all the GHC-dependent
packages along with GHC and reinstall everything from scratch. For
example:
# pkg query "%ro" ghc > ghc-pkgs.txt
# pkg delete -y lang/ghc

then:
# pkg install -y `cat ghc-pkgs.txt`

Affects: users of lang/ghc and */hs-*

Author: haskell@FreeBSD.org

Reason:
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler has been updated to version
7.8.3 and Haskell Platform to 2014.2.0.0. Hence it is recommended to
rebuild or reinstall all the dependent ports and the lang/ghc port
itself by one of the following commands:
# portmaster -w -r ghc
or
# portupgrade -fr lang/ghc
If you use pkg(8) then it is just safer to remove all the GHC-dependent
packages along with GHC and reinstall everything from scratch.
Something alone these lines may work:
# pkg query "%ro" > ghc-pkgs.txt
# pkg delete -y lang/ghc
# pkg install -y `cat ghc-pkgs.txt | grep -Ev "/hs-(haskeline|terminfo|transformers|xhtml)"

Author: haskell@FreeBSD.org

Reason:
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler has been updated to version
7.6.3 and Haskell Platform to 2013.2.0.0. Hence it is recommended to
rebuild or reinstall all the dependent ports by one of the following
commands:
# portmaster -w -r ghc
or
# portupgrade -fr lang/ghc
or
# pkg install -fR lang/ghc
Note that prefixes used for hs- ports (Cabal packages) have been
changed to PREFIX/{lib,share,share/doc}/cabal/ghc-GHC_VERSION to
enable more seamless upgrades in the future.

Affects: users of */hs-*

Author: haskell@FreeBSD.org

Reason:
Due to some unexpected dynamic linking problems, Haskell Cabal ports with
binaries that link to their own libraries may not work. With default
configuration, the following ports are known to have this problem:
Agda, BNFC, pandoc, and uuagc. (Their port revision are now bumped.)
In general, it is recommended to rebuild the port if you are
experiencing that the corresponding binary will not start, e.g.:
% agda
Shared object "libHSAgda-2.3.2-ghc7.4.2.so" not found, required by "agda"

2013-02-05

Affects: users of lang/ghc and */hs-*

Author: haskell@FreeBSD.org

Reason:
Note that the recent devel/libffi update caused some breakage in the Haskell
ports with the DYNAMIC option enabled. The problem has been identified and
fixed since then. All Haskell ports have been updated to their latest stable
versions or bumped as DYNAMIC is enabled by default.
Hence it is recommended to rebuild or reinstall all ports depending on GHC
by one of the following commands:
# portmaster -w -r ghc
or
# portupgrade -fr lang/ghc
or
# pkg install -fR lang/ghc

Reason:
Note that the Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler has been updated to
version 7.4.2.
Please rebuild or reinstall all dependent ports by issuing one of the
following commands, depending on the tool used:

# portupgrade -fr lang/ghc
or
# pkg install -fR lang/ghc

Reason:
Note that The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler and the Haskell Platform
have been updated to versions 7.4.1 and 2012.2.0.0, respectively. At the
same time, all Haskell ports have been updated to their latest working
versions.
To follow the changes, please issue one of the following commands

# portmaster -r ghc

Platform versions or latest versions.

# portmaster -r lang/ghc

# portupgrade -r lang/ghc

- Update The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler to version 8.0.2
- Simplified port by only suporting GCC, and creating a build.mk file
- Update Pandoc to 1.19.2.1
- Update git-annex to 6.20170520
- Update Darcs to 2.12.5

Please note that port revisions for all the Haskell ports without version
changes are bumped.
See the UPDATING file for instructions.
New ports (63):

- Update devel/icu to 57.1.
- Clean up the Makefile.
- Follow some upstream recommendations (--with-data-packaging=archive,
--disable-renaming, -DICU_NO_USER_DATA_OVERRIDE).
- Patch makefiles to install static libraries with INSTALL_DATA so they
aren't stripped.
- Patch config/mh-bsd-gcc to sync with config/mh-linux-gcc.
- Fix endianness detection in ICU. The code wanted to use BYTE_ORDER
defined in machine/endian.h, but this isn't visible because ICU is
compiled with _XOPEN_SOURCE. Patch the code to use _BYTE_ORDER instead.
- Compile ICU with C++11 compiler to enable move constructors.
- Patch ICU to fix a problem with atomics in the case of a C++11 compiler
without C++11 header <atomic> (like Clang on FreeBSD 9).
- Bump all ports that depend on it due to library version change.
- Add USES=compiler:c++0x to some ports that pick up -std=c++0x from ICU
pkgconfig files.
- Add USES=compiler:c++11-lib to graphics/libcdr01 because it also needs
a C++11 runtime library now. Add this to all ports that depend on it
so their executables load the right libstdc++.so on FreeBSD 9.
